CYLO "The Ultimate Urban Bicycle"

CYLO’s call to action is, their new bicycle represents the ultimate in "performance, functionally and style". Thus, the catch phrase "The Ultimate Urban Bicycle". That’s a pretty ambitious statement, given the fact that there are more "urban" and "city" bikes on the market these days than one could throw double- macchiatos and skinny jeans at.

However, after visiting the brand’s slick new website, and glancing at the CYLO’s features, it was clear to me that it was certainly deserving of a write-up.

The result of countless design explorations and engineering by industry veterans, CYLO One’s unique design is built for speed and all day comfort.

FUNCTIONALITY

All the features you need for riding in cities have been integrated: dynamo powered lights and a brake light for safety, fenders to keep you dry and a carbon belt drive to keep your pants clean.

STYLE

Sure to make heads turn, we designed a no compromise bike for the discerning modern rider. First available in Poppy Red as well as classic high gloss white and black.

SEE AND BE SEEN

MEANINGFUL SIMPLICITY

CYLO WAS DESIGNED TO BE SIMPLE BECAUSE LIFE SHOULD BE THAT WAY. BY INTEGRATING EVERYTHING WITHIN THE FRAME YOU CAN LET YOUR MIND ROAM FREELY — JUST LIKE YOU DID ON HOT SUMMER DAYS AS A KID.

BRAKE LIGHT

We can’t believe the cycling industry never thought of offering such an important feature. With riders usually being hit from behind, it seemed pretty obvious to include this feature. Now, when you brake, you know that those behind you will know about it.*

FREE JUICE

We’ve focused our energy — yes that’s a pun — on designing our bike to use dynamo power because let’s face it, charging your lights is a pain. And with 5 minute stand time there will always be enough free juice to see and be seen. No need to mention the environmental benefit of not replacing batteries.*

SPEED AND COMFORT

The frame design is built for speed but that could mean an uncomfortable ride. That’s missing the point when it comes to the ultimate urban riding experience. We built a bike that would ride smoothly over any urban terrain.
